Description
Thomas H. Famuliner, III appeals from summary judgment entered in favor of Farmers Insurance Company on Famuliner's action to recover uninsured motorist benefits. The appeal poses the question of whether, under § 379.203, RSMo 1978, 1 the insurance contract may limit the potential scope of uninsured motorist coverage by a restrictive definition of persons insured under the policy. In this limited context, the question is one of first impression in Missouri. Famuliner, a resident of the same household with his mother and father, was the owner of a motorcycle and an automobile, each insured by Farmers. Famuliner's parents each owned an automobile separately insured, also by Farmers. On May 18, 1977, Famuliner was operating his motorcycle when he collided with another motorcycle and sustained injuries. Neither the second motorcycle nor its operator was covered by liability insurance. For purposes here, it is assumed that the second motorcycle was an uninsured motor vehicle, as statutorily defined, and that Famuliner was entitled to recover damages from the operator.
